John Cornyn Wants Someone Younger and Prettier for the Florida Senate, But Won't Leave Crist for the Sake of the Children or Because He's Catholic or Something Like That

Do you remember the big fuss back when NRSC Chair and Texas Senator John Cornyn endorsed Charlie Crist for the U.S. Senate? You probably don't, because that was back in the bad old days when Crist was not absolutely dead man walking in the GOP primary and before everbody who wanted to show the conservative cred lined up to endorse Rubio.

Anyway...

Here's what Cornyn had to say about that now awkward endorsement:

"I think I'm honor-bound to leave it as it is. It doesn't mean we're going to be spending any money in the primary or saying anything bad about Marco Rubio."

I'm trying to come up with a metaphor that sums this up - "You used to be skinny and hot, but now you're fat and ugly now and I would rather be having sex with almost anyone else on the planet, but I will stay with you for the sake of the kids, however, as soon as the kids go off to college, (i.e., the Republican primary is over) I am totally leaving you for someone half your age."
